- Title
No Second Chances: Leandra's Law and Mandatory Alcohol Ignition Interlocks for First-Time Drunk Driving Offenders.
- Authors
Marutollo, Joseph
- Abstract
In this article the author explores the legislation Leandra's Law signed by New York City Governor David Paterson, following the death of an 11-year-old Leandra Rosado in a drunk driving accident on the Henry Hudson Parkway on October 11, 2009. He examines whether the mandated alcohol ignition interlock for all convicted driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DWI) offenders was prudent for the state. He says that the law could help reduce the threat of drunk driving accidents.
